Dr. Turchin has been my dentist for years. My husband came on board and when we had kids, our two sons were added. They are 24 and 27 now and still return to the city to see him. The staff (a big part of a successful practice) is great, from the front desk to the finance and billing person. A variety of music plays and adds to the pleasant atmosphere. The downtown location is easily accessible. The man himself is trustworthy. He explains what he wants to do and the reasons for it. He works with me and makes sure I am comfortable mentally before and physically during, with the procedures and appliances (night guard) he suggests. Its also fun to see the picture of him with Mick Jagger. read more

DR. Turchin gave me smile back. The entire team is so kind and professional which allows for a great experience. I am so fortunate I followed my Wife there as she chose him first. Tony G. read more

I have never had a better experience at the dentist than I have in the care of Dr. Turchin and his staff. Dr. Turchin has a calm, quiet, and efficient demeanor that always puts me at ease. He explains what he is going to do and why he is going to do it, and thoroughly explains his treatment recommendations. His bedside manner is seriously incredible - so kind and patient. You feel heard and seen when you're in his chair. Every member of his staff, from the front desk ladies to the dental hygienists (shout out to Rhoda!), is welcoming and warm. They do their jobs incredibly well and have a gentle energy. I think anyone with any type of anxiety about visiting the dentist's office should definitely book an appointment with Dr. Turchin. read more

I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Turchin and his staff. I have never felt so comfortable in a dentist office. The staff is kind, considerate, thoughtful, caring and really make you feel at ease. Most importantly they are on top of everything. They make you feel comfortable and attend to your every need. I cannot say enough about Dr. Turchin. He is amazing. I thought I was going to have teeth removed but Dr. Turchin was able to save them. He is so gentle and kind when performing procedures. I can smile again thanks to Dr. Turchin. He is the best!

Over ten years ago, I went to see Dr. Turchin for a second opinion about a root canal that another dentist wanted to do. Dr. Turchin did an assessment and determined that he could save the tooth. Over ten years later, I still have that tooth. Not only that, but doctor Turchin has done an amazing job of restoring and straightening my teeth. I have also introduced my dad, who is a senior, to this office. My dad's attitude about being distrustful and just plain scared of dental visits has totally changed with Dr. Turchin. My dad ignored his dental health for his whole life, with some pretty severe consequences to his dental health. After convincing my dad to see Dr. Turchin, Dr. Turchin restored my dad's teeth, which my dad and I doubted was possible. If you're interested in seeing a dentist that is a master at his profession, or if you're having anxiety about getting dental care and feel uncomfortable for any reason, I hands-down recommend Dr. Turchin and his dental hygienists for a comfortable office experience with outstanding results. read more

Dr. Turchin is a terrific dentist and I can't recommend him highly enough. I've seen Dr. Turchin regularly for ~10 years for general dental care and, more recently, for Invisalign. His staff is kind and welcoming, the office is very well run, and Dr. Turchin takes time for questions, explanations, and doesn't ever make you feel rushed during an appointment. My Invisalign treatment went incredibly smoothly and I enjoyed the process and great end result! read more

I just had my first dental visit post Covid 19. The office takes your safety seriously. From the front desk to the walk out with the hygientist, the office has updated itself to ensure that I, the patient, is safe. I have been a patient for over 5 years, I highly recommend the office and the staff. My former hygientist retired, the new person I have had for the past year is superior. Have no fear, during this Covid 19 period. Dr Turchin and his staff will take good care of you in a safe manner M H Muhammad read more

I've recently become a new patient of Dr. Turchin and while nobody likes going to the dentist I must admit that he and the staff in his office quickly make you feel at ease. Dr. Turchin comes highly recommended, and now that I've experienced it for myself I can see why, clean office, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and he's the kind of doctor that takes the time to listen to your questions and concerns. read more

It took four months to fix two botched, unnecessary "fillings" dr turchin's assistant gave me. I had been going to doctor turchin for three years. Recently I noticed that his staff was often trying to upsell me on unnecessary, non-covered treatments (fluoride treatment, Invisalign, eg) but he'd always done a good job so I trusted him. When I went for the fillings he explained they weren't traditional fillings in the teeth but on the surface of the teeth. I'm not a dentist and though I had no pain I took him at his word that I needed them. He said it was preventative. I did have pain after the fillings as well as swollen bloody gums. I went back to have the issue looked at twice and he shaved the filling down but it didn't help. So I went to a new dentist who said he wouldn't have suggested fillings and he fixed the issue in one visit. I will never go back here and suggest you don't either. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Turchin for about 17 years; my wife recommended him to me before we were married. I've never had any problems or complaints in that time. Neither has my wife. I think that itself if a pretty good recommendation. Now we have kids and take the kids to see him too. Last month my older daughter was in the office on Saturday for a checkup and cleaning. Dr. Turchin was not in the office that day, and my daughter said that she was sorry to have missed him. Later in the day, he called our house to say hello to her! read more

Dr Turchin is EXCELLENT. He understand his patients' needs and makes sure that the job is properly and satisfyingly completed. I knew Dr. Turchin was a dedicated and competent dentist when I called him on a Sunday after having chipped a tooth. I needed immediate repair since I was leaving on a business trip that Tuesday and had no intention of looking like a hick at a corporate meeting. He had it all fixed up in no time. Dr Turchin also handles larger-scale procedures very well. I had 2 months to spend in Philly before I moved out of state for my job. Dr Turchin accommodated to my tight schedule and fit me in enough times to get me a brand new crowned front tooth (had little accident in my teens). He event sent me to the "crown manufacturing" lab so that they could match the exact color/shape since this was my front tooth and there is no room for mismatching. Also, an assistant was late once and instead of simply apologizing and rescheduling my appointment, he gave me a loaded Starbucks gift card and let me come in when I pleased to in order to make up for it. Overall, combining the irreproachable quality of his work with the excellent handling of his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Turchin. Matter of fact, I wish he could still be my dentist! read more

Ever since was a little girl, I hated going to the dentist. The instruments were loud and scary, and I pretty much always had a cavity (thanks for the horrible genes, Dad!) As you might imagine, I wasn't thrilled or quick to find a new dentist closer to where I lived and worked. I'm not sure how I came about Dr. Turchin, but I am very glad I did. Within a day of making my appointment, I received a call from an unknown number. I didn't answer, but when I listened to the voice mail, I was shocked (in a good way). It was Dr. Turchin - he personally called me to welcome me to his practice, and basically said he was looking forward to working with me to maintain my dental health. Can you say great customer service?! The staff members are really nice and efficient. You can tell they really know their stuff - they give you all kinds of tips on how to brush, floss, etc., which don't seem to be complicated tasks, but a lot of people do these things in the wrong way and compromise their teeth/gums. The office uses all kinds of tech-y stuff, it's pretty wild. They email reminders, send texts about appointments, they have an ipad for signing in and most recently, they used this little camera thing-y to take pictures of my teeth. It looked like a toothbrush with a light on the end of it. I could see the pictures right after they were taken and I saw areas of my mouth that I've literally never seen before. Hands down - I recommend Dr. Turchin. Just make an appointment with him, and you'll get it! read more

Cannot speak highly enough of Dr Turchin and his office. I had a dental emergency this weekend and had to book a rushed appointment. I did not have a set dentist in the city and chose Dr. Turchin and am so glad I did. They were incredibly accommodating and communicated clearly about the procedure I would need to have done. I highly recommend this dentist if you're looking. I now have a fixed tooth and a permanent dentist in Philly. read more

So diligent and accommodating. Respond extremely quick for emergencies. Any issue is handled with the utmost care and professionalism. I always feel welcomed by staff and never burdensome for asking questions. Overall, I feel like I can really trust the medical advice and care I'm being provided with in his office. Would absolutely recommend. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Turin for 20+ years. He is a wonderful person and talented doctor. His staff is super nice. Friends and strangers comment on how beautiful my teeth are. read more

I went in for my first appointment with Dr. Turchin and had a great experience. His receptionist was kind and the dental hygienist was amazing. She even took pictures of specific things in my mouth so that she could explain what was going on so that I could see. It was great that she took this extra step. Dr. Turchin was super friendly and respectful, I know that I am going to be in good hands when I go back in 6 months! read more

Most of my family goes here and we've all had very pleasant experiences with Dr Turchin and his staff. The office is super convenient, there's never much of a wait, and the hygienists are all very nice, and Dr Turchin somehow remembers me (since I don't ever see him for much, thanks to all the toothpaste I ate as a kid...) and to ask about my family, etc. read more

I have been a highly satisfied and loyal patient of Dr. Turchin since about 2009. My first procedure with him involved placing a crown over the abutment of my dental implant. I had waited quite a long time to have the crown placed after my operation, so the opposing tooth had grown a bit and needed to be shaved down as well. Throughout my numerous trips to Dr. Turchin for this procedure, I have observed that he is highly diligent, thorough, and meticulous in his work. I knew immediately that he takes a lot of pride in his service. He was so focused on making sure that my crown was aesthetically pleasing as well as technically the best, healthiest fit possible with my implant. And indeed, when I saw the finished crown, it looked amazing, blending seamlessly with the rest of my teeth. I was so pleased that I returned to Dr. Turchin soon thereafter when a crown on one of my other teeth cracked and needed to be replaced. I knew that once that crown was removed for the procedure, my "tooth stump" would be exposed to air - and if you've ever had a crown, you know how whipping-smart even a brush of air is to a tooth stump! I shared my big fears of pain with Dr. Turchin and asked for extra special attention on numbing that area. I am happy to report that this procedure went as smoothly as the first. My new crown looked amazing. I have since been going to Dr. Turchin for regular maintenance as well as other issues , e.g. The occasional tooth sensitivities that I need him to take a look at. I have also referred my friends to him with high confidence - one friend for a crown, and another friend with more complex issues stemming from shoddy work with a previous dentist. Feedback from both was glowingly positive: they were very pleased with their services and results as I have been. Some hallmarks of Dr. Turchin's practice: -- Any time I have called the office regarding a specific issue (e.g. Teeth feeling sensitive, crown cracking, etc.) Dr. Turchin has made the time to call me, thoroughly addressing my questions and concerns. I do appreciate feeling fully heard before I even walk into the office for my appointment. -- As mentioned, Dr. Turchin is very meticulous. I would describe him as a perfectionist in his work, both technically and aesthetically. This quality was evident during my 2 crown procedures, as well as my most recent issue with sensitive teeth: during my 1st appointment, he administered a treatment; and then suggested I come back a few weeks later for a follow-up at no additional cost. His commitment to high-quality treatments as well as outcomes is exemplary. -- Dr. Turchin documents everything. I mean, everything. I appreciate his diligence because it means he is invested in the long-term health of my teeth and gums. -- I pay for dental services out of pocket, so this year I started up my membership in Dr. Turchin's Savings Plan, which has been a godsend. The dental hygienists here that I'm familiar with directly are Joy (my dear, hilarious friend who I met through my previous dentist and whose trusted referral led me to Dr. Turchin) and Cathy (I had my first cleaning with her recently in conjunction with my "tooth sensitivity" checkup) and both are excellent. read more

I lucked into Dr. Turchin because he was one of the nearby dentists who accepted our new dental insurance a few years ago. I am so glad he did! He is great. He takes detailed notes about what is going on with my teeth so that on the next visit we don't have to waste time going over the same things again. He made me an amazing night/bite guard and (unlike previous dentists) checks on it at every visit and makes tiny adjustments to it so that it continues to work and give me the best possible fit so that I have the fewest problems from my grinding. I've had several crowns and they look great AND he was willing to work out a payment plan with me. If I had the money for it I would be having him do veneers on several of my front teeth to cover stains and discolorations from braces and previous less-than-awesome dental work. But, veneers are expensive so I can't do that right now. I'm actually leaving the area in a few months and Dr. Turchin is one of the things I'll miss the most! It is hard to find a good dentist that you trust and who does amazing work! read more

I've had the same experience as the other negative comments on Dr. Turchin's page and I will not be going to him anymore. I came in as a new patient, and was told that both of my fillings needed to be replaced, and I had a cavity that was "severe." I go to the dentists every 6 months - I doubt something "severe" can just pop up like that, but I'm not a dentist so of course I obliged. I had my initial cleaning and x-rays, then my first filling appointment, that was both painful and expensive, and then my follow-up to fix the other "decaying" fillings. His numbing procedure was awful and I felt everything on one of my teeth - HORRIBLE! Another painful and expensive trip, and that's all for me. I'm finding a dentist who won't do unnecessary procedures, doesn't try to up-sell me with Invisalign (when I've already had braces, but just to stop them from "shifting") and other treatments. I am a patient, not an income booster! read more

After my husband and I moved to Philly a few years back we were referred to Dr. Turchin for Dentistry services and have been so pleased with our decision. The customer service sets the bar very, very high for any other health care practice. From the personal follow ups, hand written thank you notes, and pro-active reach outs when a timeslot opens up, it is by far the best service we have ever gotten at a Dentistry practice. Thrilled that we found this place! read more

Not just compared to other dentists and dental offices, but compared to all medical professionals and medical offices, I'd say Dr. Turchin and company are the best I've ever worked with. The staff is always pleasant and skilled, even first thing in the morning (I'm looking at you, Nina!). We walk through plans and procedures together in tremendous detail and Dr. Turchin is very patient -- not just with me, but with the procedures (in my case, an unexpected three rounds of invisalign trays)! It results in high quality care. From the moment we started, it has felt like we were working together. It's not about "bedside manner": it's about his exceptional ability to tailor his expertise to my needs as a patient. I'm moving across the country on Monday...but I'll be back to Philly soon, and when I am I'll have an appointment set up. read more

Dr. Turchin and his staff provided excellent dental care for me and my husband for 5 years before we moved away. They did a great job with routine cleaning and some more complicated stuff. Dr. Turchin has outstanding skills and sets high standards for his staff. A crown he did for me was far more comfortable and durable than the one I had previously. He's open one Saturday per month, which was very convenient. read more

Doctor Turchin is one of the best dentist's in center city. I have been a patient about 25 years. Kind, gentle, timely, excellent staff, nice office, flexible hours. I have referred my friends to doctor Turchin and they love him and his team. read more

Dr. Turchin (Philadelphia) and his team are wonderful. I am extremely nervous and Dr. Turchin is very patient. I have two really outstanding memories of my dentist. 1) I had a front tooth come out on a Sunday. I called and he and his wife happened to be in town for an outing. Asked me how quickly I could get to the office and they met me there within a half hour. I got to meet his lovely wife. The second incident was I needed a special root canal. He ordered a specialist to perform in his office and stayed with me while the procedure was being done. Incredible chair side manner. Now, I coxed my nervous hubby to see Dr. T and he agrees he is great. I definitely recommend to my friend and coworkers. read more

I have been going to Dr. Turchin for about two years now and I am very pleased with my experience so far! The doctor and staff are super friendly, helpful, and gentle! I never have to wait more than ten minutes past my appointment time and sometimes they even take me back a few minutes early. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dentist! read more

Dr. Turchin and his staff are fantastic and they offer the best dental care you could ask for. I found Dr. Turchin while I was an employee in the same building as his office. I needed some emergency dental care and they were able to fit me in right away. I continued to be a patient for many years and eventually my husband starting seeing him as well. We were both satisfied each time we visited. read more

If you've ever had a dentist who recommends unnecessary treatment to increase their income at your expense, then you know exactly what kind of dentist Dr. Turchin is. I came in as a new patient, and was told that ALL of my fillings needed to be replaced, since plaque had gotten in between them and my teeth. When I asked for additional details, the dentist claimed that since the materials of fillings expand at different rates in the heat and cold then the material that your teeth are made out of, plaque can get in between. I never heard of this, and given the somewhat unlikely fact that all 6+ fillings that I had somehow failed at the same time, I decided to ask my dad, who is a cardiologist (a heart doctor, not a dentist), and he said that that didn't sound real to him, so he recommended I get a second opinion. I went to Dr. Jonathon Volinsky, who I did not tell about Dr. Turchins diagnosis. I did the X-ray and everything over, and was informed that I had no cavities and did not need any new fillings. When I asked if there was anything wrong with my fillings, I was told that there was not. Furthermore, when I initially cancelled my appointments to replace all the fake cavities by leaving a voicemail citing the fact that I had never heard of his explanation for why all my fillings needed to be replaced, I received a callback from a member of his staff who claimed that the REAL problem was that all my fillings were cracked. When I said that this was not what Dr. Turchin had told me, and that it seemed like this was just an attempt to make me change my mind, she simply repeated the claim that he had said something which I distinctly remember he had not, and which Dr. Volinsky also did not agree with. And this is a minor point, but they kept trying to upsell my on getting a fluoride rinse that my insurance did not cover for adults, only for children. While to their credit, they did warn me that it wouldn't be covered, they kept refusing to take my no for an answer, and repeatedly asked and pressured me 3 more times after the initial ask before they stopped trying to get me to do it. The hygenist who was cleaning my teeth also seemed rather unskilled, as she caused me some pain and was unable to even properly x-ray part of my mouth without the assistance of another of her coworkers,which wouldn't have been that big of a thing if Dr. Turchin didn't claim that she was his most experienced member of staff, which is either inaccurate, or a bad omen for the quality of his staff. Dr Turchin will give you unnecessary pain and expense to create profit for himself. He is a quack, and you would do well to stay away. read more

Awful service. My appt took a long time since I had to keep spitting the blood and saliva or swalllowing it since there machine was broken. I would rather have had a reachedule then to get up and down my chair to spit out every minute. If I am paying for full price then I would like full service. Terrible I never had this experience before at a Dental Office. read more

the best dentist in Philadelphia. Highly recommended.very caring all the staffs at dr turchins office.

Was very pleased with Dr Turchin's care in the past year. Very professional and personable, the office is pleasant and the staff efficient, and most importantly, Dr Turchin was thorough, explained in detail, and helped me avoid unnecessary dental work recommended by a different provider. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Turchin's for the two years that I lived in Philadelphia. Because my work causes me to relocate frequently, I have been to many dentist's offices. I am very comfortable recommending Dr. Turchin. His hygienists are polite and friendly, he himself is competent and gentle, and their office runs smoothly. I happen to have a very small mouth, making taking x-rays difficult and painful for me because the "adult" sized brackets don't always fit my mouth correctly. The dental hygienist I saw was very understanding and patient, even rigging up another mechanism to hold the x-ray in place when she realized how much pain I was in. I never felt like there was a hard sell, just careful, conservative dentistry. read more

Dr Turchin is awesome! He is above and beyond I've been seeing him since 2007. I recommend him to everyone I know. Everyone on staff is super duper friendly, which I think is testament to what a great guy Dr T is to work for. I've had some difficult dental work in addition to regular cleanings (4 chipped from teeth, 2 root canals on now-dead front teeth, veneers, invisalign, and some appliance for a broken jaw). Dr Turchin's work is awesome. When I tell people my front teeth are veneers they don't believe me! I used to have anxiety about going to the dentist, but I don't with Dr. Turchin. read more

Dr. Turchin has been my dentist for over 10 years. I have recommended his office to several friends. Dr. Turchin is concerned about not just your teeth but your overall health as well. It is nice having a dentist that is not only convenient, but friendly and an experienced professional as well. read more
